Omg like a scavenger hunt to fiend your friend. This book was so cool it was like I was on the adventure as well. I love when books pull me in and I can truly escape. I can’t wait for this book to come out the cover art is so pretty and I need my mom to read this as well

I was happy to get an ARC copy of The Summer She Went Missing. This is my first book from Chelsea Ichaso and I love her writing style. This is a YA thriller and it was fast paced and kept me engaged. The story focuses on best friends Paige and Audrey. Their families come together every summer at Clearwater Ridge an affluent community. This summer the community is rocked because two girls are missing one of them is Audrey. Paige and Dylan ( Audrey’s brother) also fall for each other and have a summer romance. The following summer Paige and Dylan start investigating the disappearance of Audrey and find out that maybe the people they trust are not who they portray to be.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me the chance to read this book ahead of time in exchange for a review. It didn't disappoint! Must read!!

More like a 3.5. Thank you good reads for the ARC of this young adult thriller. I really enjoyed the start of this book. It had a lot of twists and turns, the characters were decent, and I liked that it focused more on the mystery than young adult drama. My biggest complaint was the ending. The villains motivation seemed not completely fleshed out and it just ruined the plot for me a little bit. I did enjoy how most things came together at the end. The epilogue wasn't my favorite but overall a decent, quick and easy read.

I really enjoyed this book! It had a mystery that kept me guessing until the very last chapters (seriously, I had no idea who the culprit was), a cute romance, and intriguing side characters (Madison, I'm talking about you!).

The reason I knocked a star off is because of a few issues I had with the main character. I thought she was a good enough protagonist and I even laughed at a few of her jokes (while the rest had me cringing in secondhand embarrassment), but she just felt a little 2D to me. Also, I thought it was a little weird that she got angry at her love interest for something she quite literally did the chapter beforehand. That whole situation felt less like it was important to the story and more like the author wanted to add a little drama to their relationship.

All in all, though, it held my attention and I'd definitely recommend it to friends!

Review: Such a good book!!! Loved that other characters POVs were sprinkled in between Paige’s. This book had me guessing until the end! I kept thinking I had it figured out, and then realized I was SO wrong! I loved every minute of this wild ride and the ending was so perfect! Would definitely recommend! Thank you @netgalley and @sourcebooks for the advanced copy!

The Summer She Went Missing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is a YA mystery/thriller.

Paige and her family have been visiting Clearwater Ridge every summer since she can remember. The Covingtons are family friends and are among the wealthy in town. Audrey, Paige’s best friend, and her brother Dylan, whom she has a crush on, are always there, they share a vacation home. It’s starting out to be a great summer, that is until Audrey starts acting weird and then one day disappears. No one really knows what happened to her.

The following year, her family decides to go back to the vacation home and make the best of it. That’s when Paige finds a secret in Audrey’s room. Her and Dylan start their own investigation and take a better look at their so called friends. They discover some of the families of Clearwater Ridge have many secrets and they will do almost anything to keep them hidden.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. It had me questioning a few of the characters and their intentions. It had some good suspense and twist thrown it. I also enjoyed the growing relationship between Paige and Dylan. Not only was this a whodunnit mystery but it had a cute romance in there, which I enjoyed. It’s definitely a easy binge read. This book launches March 5, 2024. Be sure to add to your TBR list!

Thanks you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Fire for my digital ARC copy. This is my honest and voluntary opinion.

That was fun ride of a thriller. I was able to fly through the pages and it kept me interested the whole book. There were plenty of twits to keep me guessing til the end. I will check out more thrillers from this author. I would recommend giving it a read if you enjoy YA thrillers.

Thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks fire for the digital arc in exchange for my honest opinion.

I thought the story started out really well but the ending was too convoluted . I found issue with the three main characters supposedly playing as kids at another teen's house but they never knew his brother? The brother was only four years older. As kids they would have known him too.

This was pretty good, obviously meant to be a YA thriller type novel but I enjoyed it as an adult. It had hints of The Summer I Turned Pretty (two vacationing families, etc) but the added aspect of one of the teens going missing was good and it was well written, and kept my attention through the entire book.

This YA thriller will have you turning each page and questioning who the real culprit is. Not to give too much away but it was a really good read and will have you guessing partway through with new character's thrown into the twist.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author, for an ARC of this book, in exchange for an honest review.
"The Summer She Went Missing" by
Chelsea Ichaso was a well written & addictive YA mystery/thriller that had me hooked right from the beginning until it's surprising ending.
I would definitely recommend this book to everyone, not just Young Adults.

I haven’t loved a book as much as I loved this one in quite some time. I LOVED Paige. The fact that she was so awkward and talked like an old person was so endearing. I think it really added to the story that she was so well written.
Many times I thought I had the mystery all figured out, and I was always wrong.
Chelsea Ichaso is officially a new auto buy author for me after this one. Excuse me while I read everything else she’s ever written.

Thank you Netgalley and Firereads for letting me read early in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for this ARC that comes out March 5,2024. The summer she went missing is a YA thriller, where Paige’s best friend goes missing. It started off really strong, I loved that we got a little background about what happened the summer Aubrey went missing. A year goes by and Paige and her ex boyfriend Dylan go looking for Aubrey. There was a couple of twists, and I enjoyed this story! There was some romance in the book between characters, and you wonder who “the girl” is the entire time.

Thank you Sourcebooks Fire and Netgalley for this eARC, these opinions are my own. Thrilling and I couldn’t put it down! Paige has returned to Clearwater Ridge for the summer to spend time with her best friend Audrey and their families. It’s also an opportunity to spend time with Dylan, Audrey’s older brother. But as things heat between them, Audrey begins to cut Paige off. Never spending time with her and even kicking her out of her bedroom. Then Audrey just doesn’t come home. A summer later it’s been ten months and Audrey is still missing. Paige’s family returns to Clearwater Ridge but she’s not sure she can handle the awkwardness. Especially as her and Dylan drifted apart as well. When the two find a clue in Audrey’s room they’ll stop at nothing to figure out where she is. And what does her disappearance have to do with another girl who went missing shortly before Audrey? Can they figure out what is going on? Did they really know Audrey? Are they putting themselves in harms way? I enjoyed that there were multiple mysteries going on and the same time. And the sections focusing on The Girl really added to the intrigue and kept me guessing as to who she was! An intriguing mystery plot with a side of romance that will keep you invested until the very end! Can’t wait to read it again!

This was a riveting missing person story around a group of wealthy friends whose families spend every summer in an exclusive, waterfront area. Paige’s best friend, Audrey, goes missing without a trace during one of these vacations. Both Paige and her love interest, Dylan, who is also Audrey’s brother, stumble upon some clues that lead them into a suspenseful and plot-twisting investigation. Recommended for anyone who enjoys mysteries, domestic drama, and stories centered around young adults. Thank you for the opportunity to read!!

Loved this missing persons novel. I fell in love with Paige’s character, witty and inquisitive. Overall this novel was suspenseful and a delight to read!

I received this ARC, thank you NetGalley & SourceBooks. This comes out in March 2024I love a good YA thriller especially when there’s any sort of romance side plot so this was right up my alley. The beginning was a bit slow which is usual for this genre. Some of the twists were predictable but again I’ve read a ton of thrillers so not much can throw me off but I can truly say I wasn’t expecting the ending. This book is about Paige and her best friend Audrey goes missing. But Paige is the epitome of the quirky girl which is one of my biggest book icks. Overall a quick read. A lot of characters to follow so it was hard to keep up with for a while. 3/5 ⭐️

I was just absolutely captivated by this book.
Paige spends every summer with her family and the Covington family at Clearwater Ridge.
This summer Audrey goes missing, and by the next summer she’s still nowhere to be found.
Paige and Audrey’s brother, Dylan do a little investigating of their own, but what other secrets do they uncover? And will they survive the summer?

This book was absolutely brilliant. It really had me questioning what was going on and who really was the bad guy. I really enjoyed the relationship between Paige and Dylan blossoming alongside them trying to find Audrey. It didn’t draw away from the main point of the book but it was a nice add on to have a cute romance included.
It had me hooked and I did not want to put this book down!
